1. L iquid - B ased C ombat A rmor Light and flexible body armor. Hardens instantly and reversibly, allowing thinner, lighter more flexible armor. Based on liquids that behave like a solid in especial conditions: 1.Shear-thickening fluid 2.Magnetorheological fluid

2. Shear Thickening fluid (STF) 1.Hardens instantly 2.Behaves like a solid when encounters mechanical stress. 3.Formed of silica particles suspended in polyethylene glycol. Forming a Colloid

3. 4.The energy of a sudden impact stick together the particles forming Hydroclusters. 5.Four layers of STF-Treated Kevlar can dissipate the same amount of energy as 14 of neat Kevlar. 6.Requires no electricity.

4. Magnetoreological Fluid (MR) 1.Hardens instantly, after a person actives the magnetic field. 2.Requires current traveling to create a magnetic field. 3.Based on a ferrofluid, “oils” filled with iron particles between 3 and 10 microns.

6. Designs (excuse me if these looks childish, but I am just an adolescent.)
